Edited to add: because Waltzingmouse Stamps is on vacation and won't begin shipping again until January 5th, we'll keep this competition open until then. Enjoy!

OMGoodness!! I wish I could claim snow as the reason this post is so late, but it's strictly due to an unfortunate lapse in memory. I got so caught up in the activities of last evening, that I plum (or is it plumb?) forgot to do the post. Please forgive me (Lisa)!

To make it up to you, we're offering yet another chance at a stamp set of choice. Just leave a comment on this post telling us which of the Days 7 through 12 you are likely to try for a chance to win!

Now, without further delay, let us all draw a collective deep breath and sing sing sing!

On the first day of Christmas, dear Julia brought to you... won-der-ful gi-ft wrap-ping!

On the second day of Christmas, dear Anya brought to you... three lu-min-ar-ies!

I can't believe the 12 days are over! But don't despair, we will return after the holidays with more fun and inspiration. In the meantime, we sincerely wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah (belatedly), Happy Kwanzaa and a healthy, prosperous and very Happy New Year!!!

Yes you are forgiven Lisa, I've loved all the 12 days of Christmas but I think I like the Joan's tag folder best, I made lots of tags this year for my grandaughters school xmas bazzar, so I will keep these in mind, and make more also I think it would make a nice little scrap album gift.

Giggling because I knew Joan was next and already went and saw her gorgeous little album! I'm really going to miss these daily projects! This has been great!! As far as which projects I will try, I'm going to be optimistic and say all of them! Any one of them would make a really sweet gift. You guys have a great holiday too!

I have already made tags similar to Day. I am actually giving sets of cards (Thank You's and Valentines) as Christmas presents. I was just going to wrap them with ribbon, but now I think I need to make those great A2 boxes featured in day 10!!

Have loved each day's little surprise, has it really been 12 Days? I'm going to miss this each morning.I can't pick an absolute fav, but I definitely want to try Anya's, Bonnie's, Sandie's (LOVED those tags!) Jennifer's and Joan's. Making notes for next year!

Mona's was beautiful and I like to think I could recreate it but I don't think I could do it justice. I thought Laurie's gift box with cards is a great idea and I love that she gave us the template. It was pretty and yet functional for anyone! This was a lot of fun to get our creative juices going for the January new release!!!

The ideas the past 12 days have been SO creative! Very impressive. What am I likely to try? Well, the tags (Sandie) are a given. I love making tags. And the cards for giving (Laurie's project) is something I'd like to try. And the M&M gifts (Lynn) are special - I love the associated poem.

Oh AGAIN everything was so fab! I will definitely be like Sandie making lots of tags, but I have GOT to try Joan's little coin pocket idea someday soon...so much fun to think of what could go inside! THANKS ladies for a most excellent 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration!

They are all so wonderful and heartfelt, but I think my favorite from days 7-12 is day 8, Jennifer's stitched mitten stocking stuffer - it reminds me of the felt ornaments I used to make from those Bucilla ornament kits. Lynn's m&m treats were a very close second! Thanks for another chance to win Claire!

Once again, I love ALL the projects that have been featured throughout each of the twelve days. I particularly adore the little treat bags full of cheer which Lynn brought us on day 7. What a fab idea! Thanks for the inspiration. x

I can't wait to try Jennifer's felt mittens - they are sooo sweet. But I will definately try some of the other's too - but it will have to wait till I'm done with the mittens!!!Thanks for the chance to win. / Karin

Thank you for these twelve days of lovely inspiration!!! I had so much fun visiting all the ladies blogs with all these beauties to admire! My fave of this second hald are Sandies Gift tags! And I'll surely make some for christmas!! They look so lovely on a present, which immediately makes it a present, without even opening! ;-) Thanks for all!Hugs, Wendy

Wow, they are all great projects. I think I'd like to try them all and the 1st on my list if Joan's little album. All though I don't think I'll have time to get it in for this Christmas. :o)Thanks to all of you for sharing your time and talent with us. I really appreciate it and really enjoy checking out all of your blogs.Wishing you & yours a Happy & Healthy Holiday!Paula

My favs are Lynn's on day 7 ( I'm making them for some girls I teach at church: thanks for the idea, Lynn!!!), and day 12: I love the tag album: so pretty, and simple enough that I think I can do it!! You ladies are all so talented: I've loved the 12 days of Christmas!!Thanks!!!!

Oh there are so many good choices. I love the little mitten stocking stuffer that Jennifer made and the cute coin envelope mini-album from Joan but I think my jaw dropped when I saw Mona's amazing coupon book.Thank you ladies for sharing your wonderful creativity.

Hi Claire, It's definitely Day 11 for me, Mona's Coupon Book was just totally inspirational, I think there are enough ideas from her post that will keep me going for a long time. Beautiful work by all the talented team members, but that Coupon Book was a total winner for me :) thanks for the opportunity to win :) and thank you for always giving us so much inspiration on using your highly addictive stamps :)HugsAngie :)

I have loved viewing all the 12 days of Christmas ideas! My favorite of the last six are Jennifer's cute felt mittens. These would be perfect to make for all my little nieces and nephews! Loving Mona's coupon book, and will definitely be giving Joan's coin envelope album a try!

Joan's for sure...that album looked like I could do a couple in a short time...since time is running out...very quickly. It's a great way, too, to ink some of the not used images in a few of the sets that I do own! I have pics of friends at Busch Gardens from 10 days ago and they would look great in one of those albums!!!! Thanks Claire and your whole team for the inspiration that was gleaned from this joyful 12 days.

I just LOVED loved LOOOOVED Mona's book, and have decided to make a variation of it as an anniversary gift for my hubby! I also love the clear soap idea, and have logged that one away for future use! :)

Thanks to all the designers for posting such beautiful art for everyone to enjoy and be inspired! I know I will be doing some gift tags, cards, treat bags and gift packaging to wrap up for the holidays.

So, I'm actually working on my monogrammed hand sanitizer gifts, and I'm thinking that next year I'll do Jen's mitten stocking stuffer gifts for each of my girlie co-workers. I am definitely going to be making coin envelope folders thanks to Joan! The parents and grandparents will love them!

Great projects! I love books so I think I will be making a coupon book like Mona's- so cute. I love the believe tag and am itching to get the stamps that match the dies. Wish Santa was bringing me some but maybe it will have to be the easter bunny.

I'm most likely to try Jennifer's mitten stocking stuffer from Day 8. Why? Because it's beautiful and elegant, but seems simple enough for me to do. My niece asked me yesterday I could make some small stocking to package hand lotions in. I think these mittens would be more appropriate. Get it? Mittens? Hand lotion?

All the projects are lovely and I will be trying many but IF I had to pick one to start with it would be Jennifer's felt mittens. Wouldn't they look adorable hanging on the tree?Thank you, Claire, for all of your inspiration and for the wonderful journey you are taking us on.

I am so inspired by all the amazing talent on this blog hop. Mona's coupon book was incredible and I am already printing the "helping hands soap containers." However the one project I am most grateful for is Laura's A2 card box and cards. That is my next endeavour. Thank you so much.
